Stopping the spending habits....

July 25th, 2007 at 12:53 pm

something that is hard to break!
I am going to plan out the weeks meals and try and not go over my $50 grocery budget for the week...we have a ton of meat in the freezer, I just need to be diligent and thaw it out! Spagetti is something that will last two nights as is chili....

I also am looking at our next few paychecks and setting up bills to pay so that the money won't be available to me! Our dryer seems to be broken so that will need replacing....another budget buster.

Disney Budget Stretcher...

so we went to Orlando for the weekend...managed to only eat one meal on property and buy a few groceries...not sure how much that saved though....going to start the week with a new outlook and keep forging ahead......


So no take out tonight....

Cooked dinner at home so saved on take out....and I have a huge pork roast that I am throwing in the crockpot tomorrow so we can have shredded pork sandwiches for dinner.

Arrived home to a $60 and a $10 check from some mystery shopping assignments I completed....we planned on going to Disney this weekend for a passholder event. I canceled our hotel as it was full price, no discount but now I have been offered to do a shop at a resort and they pay for two nights as well as pay me for the report.

So I think I will use the $70 for gas and towards of food and still go...part of me feels guilty though for some reason???

On my way to becoming a Sassy Saver!

July 9th, 2007 at 05:02 pm

I have decided I need to get serious and really start building up a savings. Every little bit adds up! Today I brought my lunch saving me about $10.

My bank has no fees or penalties for transfers so each $ I save I am going to transfer right to our savings account. I want to see that baby grow!


Sooooo I am $10 closer....!
